Cognitive Advantages Of Bilingualism Puns

I'm currently in the process of finding the best reformulation of my research question and I've been driving myself insane trying to figure out the correct way to word it. Would one say that bilingualism (or the degree of bilingualism) influences the cognitive advantages? Modulates? Mediates?

I apologise if this isn't the right place, but I figured it would be better to ask linguists than random redditors.

I speak a few languages and it can be a huge advantage with other players who speak those languages as well. Something is in orcish and can only be read by the player that speaks Spanish? Say it in Spanish. It really boosts your immersion for the other players to not understand, and gives that player more autonomy to share the info or not.

They it out, it can be a lot of fun!

I'm interested in learning more about the cognitive benefits of bilingualism, but am having trouble finding where to start. I have read in passing that bilingualism provides cognitive benefits outside of those that come by definition (knowing more than one language), but I would like to see some scholarly articles and papers on the matter. Can anyone recommend any particular works or researchers that would give me a good starting point?

Thanks!

I am fluent in English and Korean

(I can also speak english in an australian accent because I lived there for a very long time)

I was wondering if me bei my bilingual would be a big advantage to getting accepted to a program?

I used my bilingualism to an advantage and I’ve been volunteering at saturday language schools and helping younger students with learning and speaking korean (pronunciation, intonation, etc)

I’m looking into applying to schools in Socal

Like CSUF, CSULB, Biola, CSUN, CSULA, Chapman, etc.

I live in Socal (OC) so being able to stay where I am would be so beneficial for me. (The cost, and just my personality in general I get so homesick and lonely I will be so distracted mentally)

But I know socal schools are crazy competitive and my undergrad gpa isn’t very high (But I am doing a Post Bacc soon and I heard in Socal only your CSD gpa matters)

But I want to bet my chances on my extracurriculars too...

Can anyone give me some information?

The excesses of the French Language Charter aside, Quebec's policy of one official language of government administration does present advantages over Federal official bilingualism.

Advantage 1: more equal-opportunity employment. All other qualifications being equal, a French-Quebec-Sign-Language, a French-Algonquin, a French-Esperanto, a French-Chinese, and a French-English bilingual each have an equal chance of accessing employment in the Government of Quebec, whereas the French-English bilingual has a distinct advantage over the others.

Advantage 2. More equal access to services to deaf and dyslexic members of indigenous and other unofficial language communities. Even without requiring candidates to be bilingual, an officially unilingual Québec Government office will probably be more linguistically diverse with more representation of members of unofficial lingustic communitirs than an officially bilingual Federal Government office. Should official unilingualism be combined with obligatory personal bilingualism for all candidates [and especially if it gives priority, all other qualifications being equal, to the candidate who knows a sign language for example, or the second priority to the one who knows the local indigenous language, and maybe even third priority to the one who knows Esperanto (which could help deaf and dyslexic members of unofficial linguistic communities who must learn a second written language to communicate with the Government due to its comparative ease of learning), and the last priority to any other language], it would then be in an even better position to serve deaf, dyslexic, and other members of its indigenous and other unofficial language communitie at little extra cost to the taxpayer.

Advantage 3. Better-quality candidates. Even if the Québec Government imposed personal bilingualism on all candidates, since it could hire any candidate who is bilingual in French plus any other language, it could choose from a wider pool of candidates than the Government of Canada can which must often limit itself to specifically French-English bilinguals.

Advantage 4. More even community representation. The Federal Government office will probably overrepresented members of Canada's two dominant ethnic communities, forcing it to rely on more artificial reverse-discrimination policies to to counterbalance this tendency. Official unilingualism at least reduces the problem since members if unofficial linguistic communities need learn only one r
